History
In 1902, the Arizona Eastern Railway asked for donations of right of way in order to build a railroad between Phoenix and Florence. The one who provided this land was William “Bobby” Gilbert. Thanks to him, a small town named Gilbert was established. And yes, it was obviously named after him.
This town’s main economy was centered on agriculture. In fact, from 1911 to 1920s, Gilbert was known as the “Hay Capital of the World”.
Gilbert was incorporated as a town on July 6, 1920. Presently, this place is now booming with residential, business and commercial areas.
